Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr has revealed why they have decided to terminate the contract of midfielder Kamohelo Mahlatsi just six games into the new DStv Premiership season.
Both parties succumbed to a decision to part ways on mutual agreement.
The Glamour Boys announced the shocking decision on Monday, 18 September 2023 via a statement on their website.
The club’s sporting director Motaung Jr confirmed that Mahlatsi is heading towards the exit door at the club, as first reported by FARPost.
Mahlatsi signed for Chiefs in June 2022 from Moroka Swallows. The Sebokeng-born had signed with Amakhosi until 2025.
KAIZER CHIEFS OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“Kamohelo has given his best at all times while a Chiefs player and, following consultation with his representatives, we decided to release him with a view to him finding more regular game time somewhere else,” said the club’s sporting director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.
“We appreciate his efforts and wish him all of the best for the future.”
